Head Dive - Oops!

Just a tip for anyone with a young child - don't forget that they're still building their arm strength. I was picking Monique up from school today and she wanted to play a little bit longer. On the play set they have some handles that hang down connected by a wooden pole and she wanted to hang from them, but needed help getting her feet on the bar above. I was helping her out, but trying to get her to do it. Well as I'm lightly holding one of her feet and thinking she's just about got it she looses her grip. I'm glad they have mulch through the play yard and I'm hoping that teaches me about not having a good grip if I'm helping her hang upside down. Maybe I'll start her on some grip strengthening exercises...
